Drake Rowing Team Finds Ways to Train

by AUTUMN PALMER

Athletes around the world have had their season cancelled due to COVID-19, but the virus hasn’t stopped some from working hard and coming together with their teams.

Rowers Sophie Brenna and Lindsay York on the Drake Women’s Rowing team are just two of the many athletes who had their season cut short, but are continuing to train.

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MACC) set a strict guideline of rules that athletes must follow. Because of the virus, athletes aren’t allowed to race or have team practices.

“We were about to have a really good season and I think we were in a good spot for doing well at our conference race,” Brenna said.
